Abstract: A protective and decorative, stretchable, thermoplastic sheet material for bonding by thermoforming to automobile body panels and other articles comprises a polyester carrier film coated with an aqueous polyurethane paint composition. By coating the carrier film with a composition comprising an aqueous dispersion of a copolymer of ethylene with an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid such as acrylic acid the adhesion of the paint to the carrier film is markedly improved. Especially significant is the improvement in adhesion to polyester carrier films of aqueous polyurethane metallic paints in which aluminum flakes are dispersed.

Abstract: Stirring apparatus for stirring particles in a liquid medium comprising a cylindrical stirring vessel having a stirring rod extending within the vessel to stir its contents. The rod has a bulbous tip which describes an orbital path in the vessel to sweep out an annular trough or channel formed in the bottom of the vessel. The annular trough or channel is contoured in section to follow the flow lines set up in the medium by secondary motion stirring effects. In this way accumulation of particles due to the secondary motion, which would otherwise occur at the corners and center of the bottom of the vessel, is avoided. The apparatus is advantageously useful in cell culture research particularly for stirring microcarriers in a liquid culture medium because it becomes possible to maintain the microcarriers in uniform suspension at lower stirring speeds than heretofore possible thus avoiding damage to the growing cells and improving overall cell yield.
